Mindful Solo Travel [#3] Breathing Meditation to Fill the Heart with Happiness | Thich Nhat Hanh | At Nakadanaso, Komoro
With a book by Thich Nhat Hanh in hand, I went on a solo retreat. I hope you will join me, as if participating in a meditation session, and share this two-dimensional virtual meditation time while looking at the photos.
Breathing Meditation to Fill the Heart with Happiness | At the Morning Sunlight Terrace
"Breathing in, I fill my heart with happiness. Breathing out, I fill my heart with happiness. I meditate in this way."
Do not try to arrange anything; just let things be as they are.
There is no need to try to become someone.
Fill your heart with happiness.
You already know that you are blessed with the opportunity to meditate, and that there is no moment more precious than this one.
If you can place your awareness here and now with a calm mind, great joy will arise every time you touch the inner seeds of trust, compassion, conscience, tranquility, and liberation.
Happiness itself is food for the heart.
There is no need to look for happiness outside of yourself. As soon as you realize that happiness is here, it arrives.
Once healed by the happiness of meditation, we become generous, relax our shoulders, and learn to be compassionate toward ourselves and others. And that happiness is transmitted to everyone around us. If your heart is at peace, you can give that peace to others.
